Yep, the ankles are important as fuck. I've found keeping a figure standing is virtually impossible if the feet aren't both pretty much perfectly flat on my desk or shelf.

Mauler along with Rattler and Moray, maybe WHALE are the only Classified HasLabs I'd make space for at this point. Snow Cat and Thunder Machine don't seem big enough for a HasLab.

Yeah Hydrofoil is the only one I really want. Maybe a Thunder Machine also but that really about it. I?d go for a Tomahawk so I could load it up with figures and hang it from the ceiling but doubt they would make that. Ok so I guess it?s 3 vehicles id only want hahaha

A lot of people I know put some sort of sticker or putty
on the bottom of their figures or the Stands Balance or not.

Even if you get your figure in a good pose, over time the joints loosen.

It only takes one figure long term slowly falling over and becoming an
Action Figure Domino to show you the wonders of Action Figure
Bowling pin Mechanics.

We've been Waiting for the Big Earthquake for
2 Decades + here now.

We've had a few rumblers that've toppled a couple of my 1:6 leading to a domino effect, setting off a motion detector and tripping the alarm. I'm just glad we've been in town for those so the alarm company didn't have to notify the police.

Made a more retro looking zandar. Took recondo's gun holster thingy and cut off the extra strap. Painted all the grayish blue bits a bit more blue, though you can't really tell in the pic

Edit...and just realized I got a blue smudge on his boot lol...whoops

Yup. Thankfully there've been several low level ones to relieve the pressure. San Diego just had a 5.2 last month.
